I am modeling a ratcheting clip for cable management for a laptop cart. After a few designs I've gotten someting that works well at first but the part that bends quickly looses its elastivity and eventaully breaks off. This was in PLA and It got me thinking that some plastics may be better than others for compliant mecanisms. Is it possible to produce a list of these types of plastics?
